Anacortes Community Forest Lands, Protected area in Anacortes, United States.

The Anacortes Community Forest Lands include 2,950 acres with Mount Erie rising to 1,273 feet as the highest point on Fidalgo Island.

The forest establishment dates to 1919 when the city purchased Washington Power, Light and Water Company equipment and lands for 135,000 dollars.

The Friends of the Forest organization emerged from community action to stop logging activities and promote recreational uses of the forest lands.

The trail system extends over 50 miles with specific areas designated for hikers, bicycles, horses, and seasonal motorcycle use from April through October.

The Conservation Easement Program preserves forest sections at 1,000 dollars per acre through partnerships with the Skagit Land Trust.
